VIRGINS!

So, you want to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show (RHPS) live, but you aren't sure what to expect. Well you've come to the right place.

First, let's get some terminology out of the way:

Shadow Cast - A cast of live "actors" (by some loose definition of the word) acting out the movie in front of the screen

Virgin - Most likely YOU. In the context of RHPS a virgin is anyone who hasn't seen the show with a live shadow cast before (watching the movie at home doesn't count).

Callbacks - No, you're not auditioning for anything: In this case callbacks are lines or phrases shouted out at the movie at opportune times (more on this later)

Your First Time:

For your first experience of the RHPS you don't need to bring anything other than a sense of humor and money for admission (though, we often do free shows) We also sell "survival packs" and water guns at our shows. It's not even strictly necessary to participate in callbacks or throwing props. Much like in sex, no one expects you to know what to do on your first time. However, if you want to get a leg up on all the other virgins and are interested in learning how to participate, read on.

NO open flames

Time Warp

Let's do the Time Warp again!

If you don't know how to dance, it's ok, just watch everyone else. See, they can't dance either!

Creation

Rubber Glove

During the creation scene Frank snaps his gloves three times, you should attemp to snap your gloves in sync. It sounds really cool.

Noisemakers

At the end of the creation speech the Transylvanians applaud and use noise makers, you should join them

Underwear Run (only at select locations)

When Rocky starts singing "Sword of Damocles" head to the back of the theater (If you've been given permission ahead of time) and strip down to your underwear (or whatever) and get ready for the signal to start running around the theater in your underwear put your clothes back on afterwards, we can only handle so much of your awesome bod before our heads explode.

Confetti

When Frank and Rocky are heading off to the bedroom the Transylvanians throw confetti at them, you can do the same. Our Survival Packs do not include confetti, you could just use some left over riceIf you DO bring your own confetti, please DO NOT bring confetti with glitter

Dr. Scotts arrival

Toilet Paper

Dinner

Toast

When Frank proposes a toast, throw your toast

Party Hat

Frank puts on a party hat, you should as well*, When he angrily throws his hat off, feel free to throw yours, they can make pretty decent projectiles*We don't always include party hats in our survival packs, but if your crafty you can make a hat from your newspaper ... Good Luck!

Planet Schmanet Janet

Bell

When Frank is chasing Janet up the stairs in the song "Planet Schmanet Janet" he sings "when we made it, did you hear a bell ring?" Ring a bell if you have one, or create a poor mans bell by shaking your keys or simply shouting "ding dong".We provide neither bells nor keys.
